According to the British "Times" reported on the 18th, "sugar daddy scammers" appeared on the controversial online dating site "Seeking" - these people are specifically targeted at young women through credit card fraud. The police are hunting down the crooks and have now mastered 40 victims, but many more are too embarrassed to come forward because they feel humiliated.

Seeking openly advocates that young women, especially female college students, are looking for "sugar daddies" through nominal dating companionship and actually asking for support, and the latter pays them tuition or buys gifts for this special relationship. While the site is not illegal, and its founders argue that it is "establishing a secure connection for adults to take what they need," after all, this implicit sex trafficking relationship violates social moral norms, and the victims also use pseudonyms in interviews with the media. Seeking claims to have 500,000 people registered in the UK.
According to the report, the female college student who was victimized this time first received funding from the online "sugar daddy", credulously trusted the other party and handed over her personal information. Sugar Daddy scammers use the name of female college students to open new credit cards, brush up the quota, and make the deceived female college students owe thousands of pounds in debt. After receiving multiple alarms, the police believed that this was an organized fraud, and the case is still under further investigation. (Han Lin)
